Motorized Vehicle Policy

Rules & Regulations Agreement

Auxiliary vehicles, including but not limited to, golf carts, service carts, utility vehicles, Cushmans, and other four-wheeled vehicles (individually an “AV,” collectively, “AVs”) are included within the scope of this Motorized Vehicle Rules & Regulations Agreement (this “Agreement”). All AVs used in connection with activities and events at the Fonner Park Campus are required to have a Fonner Park issued operation permit while on the Fonner Park grounds, parking lots, and campground. Permits are required during move-in, event period, and move-out. Permits are only issued for AVs that serve to advance the operation of the event in process or that provide a service to Fonner Park vendors, exhibitors, administration staff, etc. Permits are issued at the Fonner Park General Office. Permits are issued at the discretion of Fonner Park and Double Locked Security.

SAFETY POLICY:

“It is the intent of this company to provide a safe workplace for everyone. Accident and injury prevention is an important part of our job. Working together, we can achieve our safety goals. Safe working practices are important. Safety is everyone’s responsibility. It is the policy of this company to protect our employees, patrons, equipment, facilities, and grounds. Employees and vendors operating AVs must be authorized to drive the vehicle, and constantly be aware of others when driving on the Fonner Park grounds.”

By signing below, the undersigned permit owner agrees to the following:

1. AVs without a permit will not be allowed on Fonner Park grounds at any time.

2. High-powered motorized sports vehicles and AVs more than 52” wide are not permitted. This Agreement authorizes the undersigned to operate only the AV identified at top of this Agreement. Privately owned AVs are subject to inspection and approval of Fonner Park or Double Locked Security prior to use on the Fonner Park grounds.

3. All AV drivers must be a minimum of 16 years of age and have a valid driver’s license issued by the applicable state agency. An identification card is not considered a valid form of I.D. A copy of the driver’s license must be on file with this signed Agreement. Any and all unauthorized or unapproved drivers will be the sole liability of the AV owner(s).

4. AVs are not permitted on city streets. However, all drivers of AVs shall observe all Nebraska motor vehicle traffic laws while driving an AV (e.g. stopping at stop signs, yielding to pedestrians, refraining from using cell phones or texting while driving). AVs may only be driven between dawn and dusk if equipped with headlights and brake lights in operating condition. AV drivers will yield to pedestrians and animals, and use safe speeds at ALL times, especially in areas of high traffic. An AV should be operated at a speed equivalent to a well-paced walk, but no faster than 15 mph.

5. AVs are not permitted inside any Fonner Park buildings or barns, at any time.

6. In accordance with Nebraska motor vehicle traffic laws, the consumption of, or driving under the influence of any alcohol, narcotic drug or any illegal substance while operating an AV on Fonner Park grounds is illegal. Any violations will result in the automatic revocation of your AV permit.

7. The number of passengers and load capacity of an AV shall not exceed the manufacturer’s rated limit and all passengers must be transported in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Passengers must be seated while operating the AV. Infants and children are not allowed on the driver’s lap and are not allowed to steer the AV. Passengers are not allowed to ride in the box of the AV.

8. AV keys are not to be left in unattended AVs. Drivers must keep their AV keys with them at all times.

9. In the event any term of this Agreement is violated, Fonner Park may do any one or more of the following:

  • Fonner Park and Double Locked Security each have the authority to revoke an AV permit at their sole discretion.
  • Fonner Park and Double Locked Security each have the authority to impound any AVs issued by the Fonner Park and Double Locked Security, at their sole discretion.
  • Fonner Park and Double Locked Security each have the authority to require any privately owned AVs to be removed from the Fonner Park grounds, at their sole discretion.
  • A first time violator of any of the terms of this Agreement may receive a warning if the circumstances warrant, at the sole discretion of Fonner Park and Double Locked Security . In such event, a second violation will result in the automatic and immediate revocation of the driver’s AV permit and the AV will be impounded, if such AV was issued by Fonner Park and Double Locked Security. Privately owned AVs will be required to be removed from the Fonner Park grounds.
  • Reckless driving, negligent driving or any other driving that may impair or be harmful to the safety of visitors, participants, vendors, exhibitors, or others present at Fonner Park (each of the foregoing as determined by Fonner Park and Double Locked Security in their sole discretion), shall result in the automatic revocation of a driver’s AV permit and the AV will be impounded, if such AV was issued by the Fonner Park and Double Locked Security . Privately owned AVs will be required to be removed from the Fonner Park grounds.
  • Permits are issued at the discretion of Fonner Park and Double Locked Security. Fonner Park and Double Locked Security reserve the right to revoke permits and remove AVs from Fonner Park grounds, at any time and for any reason.
